The dreadful calamity which over
took the victims of the Opera
Comique, in Paris, seems to grow
worse and worse. At first, it was
supposed that only some fourteen
people had been sacrificed. But the
number has increased fearfully with
every days dispatches, until it is
now believed that over one hundred
people were consumed in this dread
| full confagration. One would have
supposed that in Paris, the foremost
city in the world in caring for the
lives OF its people and keeping a
strict surveillance of public buildings,
an event OF this horrible character
could not have occurred. In Paris
the Government exercises the utmost
vigilance to preserve places of popu-
lar resort from danger. 1t is watch
full, to a degree that astonishes
strangers, for the safety OF its people
in the crowded streets, in its rail-
roads, in its public halls, its churches
and its theatres; and it seems strange
that in this one instance place Of
public amusement, one, too. enjoying
a subvention from the National
Treasury, which usually carries with
it the responsibility of especial gov
ernmental care, should have been
overlooked in vital particular-the
amplitude OF its vomitories. Yet the
melancholy fact of fatal negligence
is before us, attested by holocaust
of victims that has sent thrill OF
horror throughout the civilized
world. 1t is impossible to look at
this calamity in any other light than
as one that could have been avoid ID
by proper precautions, Nothing can
assuage the grief or compensate the
,, loss OF the mourners; but the lesson
taught is one OF serious moment TO
4
the living. 1t warns the authorities
OF every city of the immense respon-
sibility resting upon them with refer
ence to buildings in which large num-
bers Of people assemble. 1t imposes
upon them the duty of knowing by
careful inspection if every such build
ing is SO constructed that in case OF
fire there are avenues of escape suffi-
cient and accessible to enable all to
reach the open before the flames can
lick them up. This duty applies as
we'll to the authorities OF Los Angeles
as to those of other cities. and the
Paris horror invites us to ask whether
every public building in this city is
as safe as it ought to be? Let those
who are responsible for the public
safety answer.

PREPARATIONS are being made BY
the G. A. r. Posts to celebrate Deco
ration Day tomorrow in an appro
pirate manner. The several GENE.
teries will be visited not only by the
comrades of the sleeping soldiers,
but by crowds of civilians. The
graves OF the valiant dead will be
gracefully decorated with flowers, and
memories of the war will be recalled
by the touching scenes enacted
wherever the resting place OF de-
parted soldier can be found. Deco
ration day has become fixed holi-
day in our country, and, North and
South, it is devoted to the beautiful
ceremony of paying grateful tribute
to the memory OF the brave ones gone
to rest. A touching and significant
feature OF the celebration is the fra
ternal custom that has grown up of
paying equal marks Of respect to the
resting places Of those who fought in
the gray and those who fought in the
blue.
